The assistant replied,"For you to try on that dress in the window I would deplore !

Life at the morgue

Trauma into this elderly lady these despicable thieves have poured.

Abused after taking their final breath.

After a number of burglary offences, he was not jailed.

He stayed in his post never got the sack,

And kept trophies to relive every single attack.

People as they age have different views,

Some smoke and drink and their bodies abuse.

Some don't exercise and get much fatter,

Early on in  life their ashes families scatter.

 

Some put on weight and have trouble tying their laces,

When their broad minds and narrow waists change places.

The Blackburn Cathedral mass jab centre

"Cold tired and distressed they did wait,

Shivering outside  in the cold for their jab fate.

My 74 year old husband waited two hours for his prize,

He was frozen and shaking with tears in his eyes.

 

Some were in wheelchairs waiting in the freezing cold,

Not a healthy situation for a 70 to 80 year old.

The vaccination service in the Cathedral has been set up at a pace,

Underlying health issues

George was diagnosed with cancer three years ago,

Monthly treatments had kept the symptoms low.

He was told he would survive another ten years.

But the covid pandemic severely hightened his fears.

 

He was told that if he catches covid,his cancer treatment would stop,

As a consequence into his coffin George sadly did pop.

In his case his cause of death was covid not cancer,

My first twenty years

Stuck and growing in my mum's belly things were dark.

On my life's path I started to make my mark.

Cells developed in my brain as I dropped into a colourful world,

With my eyes ,an extension to my brain ,many curious images unfurled.

 

My brain cells were learning ,everything was new,

Learning how to  walk,strategically I did do.

Connection between brain and feet at first was ...

A footballer's regret

I was jumped on and hugged by my team,

We were into the final,I'd fulfilled my dream.

But  due to the ball going into the net,

The hugs  of celebration I do regret.

Sadly too heaven my gran has gone.

The warmth of a song

A party of school children were in the North Pole.

The cold weather on their bus driver had taken it's toll.

He started shivering as he drove them along,

To warm him up the children burst into song.

"Freeze a jolly good fellow,freeze a jolly good fellow,

Freeze a jolly good fellow,and so say all of us."

The driver felt their warmth and drove them on safely in the bus.

Old age does not come alone

Tom was getting old but had a good pension pot,

But enjoyed spending all the money he had got.

It came to a point where he couldn't make ends meet,

A false call to the police but they were not caught out

Jo dialled 999 in a panic and spoke to a cop.

"There's been a fight at my fish and chip shop !"

Jo was elderly and his brain cells were slightly scattered.

"Two fish by the owner have been seriously battered !"

 

The cop realised there was something fishy going on,

And no cop car to the fish and chip shop had gone.

Time to shine

Jim was brought up on a farm by his dad,

An ambition to move to the city he'd always had.

In the city he got a job as a shoe-shine boy,

His new occupation brought Jim much joy.

 

His dad was sad to see him gone,

But made hay while his son shone.

June closed the door ,next John did shout.

"Taxi stop my wife has been unclothed !!"

In her bra and panties she did stand,

As on a busy street she did land.

Until we have instigated a cure, 

Please don't allow covid to lure,

And spread around in your congregation,

Bringing pain and grief to our nation.

 

To pray at home is a must,

Quell for now, your congregating lust.

Pray for this pandemic to end,

And for those affected to mend.

 

The future to congregate will depend on you,

Pray at home to get us through.

Hankering for a hotel room ,not being used.

I've shivered many a night by a shop door,

Lying on cardboard to soften the floor.

 

I felt safer on the street away from my abuser,

Although frequently accused of being an user.

Due to my abuse I had to leave,

My possessions I had no time to retrieve.

Admittance to Heaven was restricted for 4 months

Laughter is a tonic in these times of grief,

Joy was brought to my heart by a gate thief.

Above the entrance to his church I read,"This is your gateway  to Heaven."

Underneath a notice had been placed which brought on a smirk.

"This entrance will be closed for 4 months due to repair work."

During this pandemic many shops have closed down,

Considerably less shoppers, walking round town.

Two of my old school friends I met when I was out,

"You both look really  shattered ,how has that come about?"

"Yes working so much overtime has taken it's toll !"

"Where do you work ?"We hand out the dole."
